If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, notify us within 7 days of receipt for a refund of the purchase price less actual shipping costs and phone credit/debit card processing fees. Important Update:  for phone sales, our credit card processor does not refund the fees with paying over the phone.  If a refund is given, it will be less the original shipping and processor fees.  Most fees range between 2.1% and 3.03%.  This does not apply to Paypal payments, only phone sales for the processing fees - shipping costs will still be deducted from the refund.
